Today was a slightly unusual day. Instead of a full day of production we did about 3 hours of work in the morning and then we took a "field trip." Instead of spending the whole day in the kitchen working on stocks and sauces we headed to the auditorium (which is beautiful) to hear a guest chef give a fantastic lecture and watch him prepare some items on his menu. Our lecturer today was Christopher Hastings, the chef and owner of Hot and Hot Fish Club in Birmingham, Alabama. His lecture and demo were awesome, listening him talk about his craft and watching him prepare these dishes that looked beautiful, smelled amazing, and tasted out of this world!
After the visiting chef lecture and presentation we returned to our classroom and finished up the bacon, cheddar and potato soup and a few little odds and ends before we headed out for the day.
On a fantastic note when I got home today there was a large white envelope waiting for my in my mailbox. The single sheet of paper in the envelope informed me that I passed my WSET Intermediate level wine exam!
